Does anyone have the drivers for Windows 10 64 bit use of the STM32F1xx bas ed USB Blaster clones? They are readily available, inexpensive and the STM3

2 Cortex CPU should have plenty of performance for these to work well. Howe ver, the firmware isn't fully Altera compatible so when connected via USB t hey crash the machine with a blue screen reboot.

I just received mine and for the price, ordering a different one would be w orth while but I would like to get this one working instead of waiting 1 to 2 weeks for another. And most vendors don't show which CPU theirs uses so I could end up with another that I can't use.

Any and all pointers will be most appreciated!

For reference, I'm running Quartus 16.0.2 in Windows 10 Enterprise, 64 bit. The clone's PC board has a row of 11 vias for a header which I suspect is used for programming it, if anyone has ideas about that as well.

Best to you all -

Not what you want to hear, but you could maybe get things working with a virtual machine (i.e. VirtualBox) running a 32-bit Windows version. You'll be able to do everything from the existing machine, just more clunkily.
